I ^iie previous engagement between ' (be two teams, the locals bowed by i 3.point margin, 24-27. i The two quintets are very evently ; uatcbed, Greensboro leading High Point i by one game in the two-cellar positions jji the conference. The home boys are . sure that they are going to do their best 10 finish the season with a win, and the Pointers have ulready shown that they eaa play np with them, so a 1: test is in order. The reserves, also defeated by the High Point scrubs on the last meeting, will clash with the Pointer second string at 7 o’clock in the preliminary. I The second conference win of the sea- ' son for the Greensboro basketballers was added last Saturday when Winston was downed 18-13 after a hot contest , in which Whitt and Melver starred for Greensboro. Get Bad Start The five got off to a pretty poor itart this year, lack of reserve power being responsible in a large extent. The I first conference win of the year was the I second Salisbury game, here, which was '''■ won by two points, 19-21, January 27. j Bessemer, Salisbury, Candor, Gastonia, I and Charlotte put up wins before that I date. Bessemer was afterward defeated in Greensboro, 23-21. i Later in the season the team im proved. Charlotte was held to a nine- 1 point victory, 20-11, and Winston was held to a close score. High Point was battled to a close count and so was Gastonia, one of the best outfits in the Material Develops Late Coach Beldjng finished the season with a pretty fair squad, but be started it with a shot one. He had only one I guard, Wrenn, and he was not a letter man, and Whitt was ineligible to play forward. Nicholson and Burroughs were the only other men with varsity experience. As the season waned. Jack Brown came out and it was found that he could play the game 'after a fashion. Whitt got eligible, and was shifted to guard where he has starred ever si Wrenn developed into a first-rate guard, Fesmire made it at center. McIver got I so he could put up a fair contest at I either guard or forward posts. I .*8 the season runs out things have begun to look as if Coach Belding might have had a top notch aggregation if it had just lasted a month more. GREENSBORO WRESTLERS DEFEAT BARIUM SPRINGS Riding for the most spectacular upset of the season, in any circles, the Greensboro high wrestlers went to Barium Springs and defeated the four-years-undefeated Barium grap- plers by 16-13. Bell, captain of the Greensboro squad, threw a man who had not lost in four years in three minutes. Morrah, 108-pound man. also took a fall. Koury and Gerringer won small time advantages to give Greensboro the meet. The Summary 105—Morrah (G) fall in five min utes, 35 seconds, 115—Koury (G) took one minute, 42 seconds time over Blue. 125—Donaldson (B) took five min utes time over Ed Douglas, 135—Bell (G) threw Shaffer in two minutes, 45 seconds. 145—Lee (B) threw Steve Douglas. 155—Gerringer (G) took one min ute, 16 seconds time over M. Lee. 165—King (B) threw Hester in 30 seconds. TRACK LETTER MEN START PRACTICE Indoor Meet to be Held Chapel Hill in March. NEW MATERIAL REQUIRED FOR BASEBALL TEAM Pitching Staff Stands Out as Potential Weakness—Riley, Prospective Catch- er, Former Outfielder. SEVEN LETTER MEN ARE BACK Just what the prospects for baseball at the senior high school this season are like it is of course impossible to say. A lot depends on the coach, Her bert Fox who Is an unknown baseball quantity, though he has won his spurs football and wrestling. Seven letter men are turning out March 2. They will give Coach Fox complete outfield, Whartou, Bur roughs, and Whitt. Riley won a letter in the outfield, but It is probable that due to the paucity of battery prospects, ' will take a place behind the bat. The inflelders of last year’s team are Ogburo, Iddings, and Edmundson. Pitching stands out as a potential •eakness of the team, with little perienced material on the staff. Lee Vanstory Is one of the best hold-overs from the team of last season. Outside of Riley, Gerringer is about the only experienced catcher that is expected back. Another infield prospect is Nonce ho almost made it last time. Nance plays second base, and should make a good showing this season. Hitting was the weakness of last season’s aggregation, and few heavy hitters are on the squad. Ogburn man aged to lean on once in a while, and Whitt and Edmundson could also con nect occasionally. Perhaps the most consistent hitter. In pinches, at least, wa.s Carl Iddings, inflelder. A squad of about seventy is expected to turn out for practice, and out of the bunch, quite a few of whom have bad baseball experience, either ' the senior, or junior high squads. ROUTH HANDLES SQUAD The six track letter men comuieuced working out last Monday in prepani- tion for the Indoor meet at Chapel Hill March 7. As only a limited number can enter from each school, it has been decided that only the mono gram boys will go from Greensboro. The sprinter from G. H. S. will be John Gunter, a consistent pacer Inst season until he hurt his ankle. Up until his injury he managed to come in right behind Goodwin in most sprints, and thereafter usually placed well up. He will run the sixty-yard ash. The middle distance man for the in door meet will be Captain John Knight, another boy who runs consistently. The team is expecting a great deal from Skipper Knight in the half this season. He will run the thousand yards at Chapel Hill. Abernethy and Sockwell will do the hurdling and jumping for Gate City highs in the meet. Both of these im proved a great deal last season. Aber- netliy especially is looked to for some real stuff this year. The letter field men are Norman and Brown. Norman pole-vaults and throws ■ eights, and Brown throws the javelin and shot and discus. Besides the letter men who are al ready out In preparation for the In door meet, a large number of prospec tive winners are Included in the ranks of candidates who did not manage to place last year but are back this time. Distance men with experience In clude Gregory, Nowlin, and Douglas. Kennerly in the low hurdles ought to do something this year, and Wrenn strong candidate in the weights. John Knight’s brother, Joe, ought to ) well In the middle distances. Numbered among the ranks of the missing is last season’s captain, Red Goodwin. Goodwin could be counted on to take the sprints, ten iioints, the pole-vault, five more, and often took the javelin throw, These fifteen or twenty points could hardly be sneezed and they will be sorely missed, especially in some of the dual and trl- clty meets with High Point and Win ston. Other letter men who will not line up with the team this time are Martin, 8&0; Bradley, 440, both men generally good for places. NEARLY PULL TRACK CARD March 7—Indoor meet at CHiape! Hill.

Tliey have bowed to AViuston, King, Chapel Hill high, and Proximity high. Games not yet played are German town. there, tonight, High Point, Leaksville, and a return engagement ■^ith Chapel Hill. The showing of the team this year is not considered bad^ as there was very- little experienced material ou the squad when candi;lates were called for. The outlook for next season is far brighter, practically all the players expecting to return for next season. The varsity outfit that has started most of the games is composed of Lucas, Kirkman, and Starling, for wards, all three of whom will, be back, Homey, Carolyn Hay, and Genen May, guards. Homey and Carolyn Hay-are the only ones not returning. ; Other good players for next year’s squad who have played some mniutes this time include Goodman, Hinton, IVbltley, and Steadman. Gastonia, a much stronger team, won over High Point by a very small mar gin 28-23, this being on Gastonia’s home court, February 3. Gastonia wins again, this time from Salisbury, another close game with Gastonia 30, Salisbury 27. This game being on Salisbury’s home court, Feb*- ruary 6. Charlotte, the strongest team In the western conference has won all of her games and was victorious over Win ston-Salem with a large margin, 16-47, on Winston’s home floor, February 7. Salisbury nearly the cellar team, gave Charlotte a hard fight with the close score of 27-21- Cliarlotte won over the Winston-Sa lem boys very easy by a wide margin, 47-14, on Winston’s own floor, Feb ruary 14. Salisbury gave Charlotte a hard tus- sel at Salisbury, but when they joined up to Charlotte the tide was turned with Charlotte 54, and Salisbury 17. Asheville played only one game that being with the strong Charlotte club. The score was 43-11, Charlotte winning, Due to financial condition Asheville has not had any athletics this year. SENIOR HI-Y CLOSES membership PROGRAM The senior Hi-Y closed its 1931 mem bership program Friday the 13th. A Isrge number of applications were re- ceived and it is expected that an un usually large club will be the result. Plans for the initiation of the seventeen uew members are now underway. These eandidates will probably gain entrance this week. The Hi-Y is looking for- to great things from both its and old members this year and with so •capable a leader as Frank Abernethy tliey are certain to reach great heights. Girls To Have Baseball Spring sports for girls this year will include baseball, with possibly a little track.' Miss Briakjey will probably call for the candidate's for baseball out around the second of March. The girls a pretty fair team last year, and are expecting several of Die players from last year’s'squad to report this year. _ The tennis team this year will be coached by G. P. Cobb, one of the ad ditions of this year to the coaching staff at Greensboro high school, and captained by Carl Carlson. In addition to Captain Carlson, three other letter men are back to take their places on the roster when the season gets under way. Garrett, number one man of last year’s squad, and Rucker and Sullivan, are the mon ogram men. In addition to these three, there is a large number of boys who played In the squad last season and did not get letters, who will be trying for a place with the first six this year.

A. swimming pool will be available for the team practices which will begin about the middle of March. Several boys who went out last year for a while, through the prospect!’ meets did not materialize, will be back to try it again this time.

Meets pending are; April 17—High Point, here. .■April 24—Winston, there. May 1—High J’oliit, there. May 8—Winston, here. Coach Routh will probably have si pervision over this team. J. M.

GROUP SHOWS POWER The wrestling team has had the best season of its existence at Greensboro high school 'his year, and has been the most successful team in the school so far this year, winning three out of seven mecta. It was the windup that contained the wallop. In the last week the grapplers won tw.) hard meets, Ba um Springs and Oak Ridge.

Every man on the squad with the exception of Gardner and Hester, has his match.

Bell Goes Strong Only onece this season l.as Captain Hiram Boll failed to take his match by fall. The Durham 135 pounder man aged to get off the mat frequently enough to escape being thrown, but all six other regular opponents were pinned by the redoubtable Mr. Bell.
